Memory Timings.

[Cole]

I'm just taking a wild guess but..
Is it "The lower each number the better?".
I'd like to know so I can select the best ram with my money.

this is a confusing thing. sometimes a lower bus speed with faster memory timings is better than just increasing your bus speed. When you are buying memory you want to get the highest bandwidth required by your system with the lowest CAS/tRCD/tRPD/tRAS If you are operating your system at a 400MHz bus rate then you need at least PC3200 memory and perferably with a CAS specification of 2.

feels like i have no idea what i'm talkin about
